Assalamu Alaikum, everyone. Happy and Prosperous Ramadan Kareem. So, finally, I am back with a new and the longest chapter of this entire story. Thus, enjoy reading and please, do comment. It really disappoints me when I write 12-13K+ worded chapter yet never get the deserved appreciation. It really demotivates and I often feel like not writing the next chapter when I see very little interaction. I read and try to reply to all of your comment. Therefore, please, try to appreciate and interact more through comments. Anyways, happy reading.

Jeongguk was feeling suffocating in the office. Everything felt very jumbled: his feelings, thoughts, words, actions; every damn thing was messing up his mind and heart. Thus, he left the place as soon as possible. Once he reached his home, he happened to see Hoseok kneeling in front of Sunmi; tears in both of their eyes. The brunette did not understand what was happening. He stood there as he kept listening to what they talked about. 

“Please, Angel, don't do this to me. I have no one except you and lil angel. Please, don't push me away. I will die without you,” Hoseok cried, he was lost at what to do. Sunmi broke up with him over a text and he was going nuts from that day. The red-haired male tried everything to reach the female, but he was turned down each time. At last, he just could beg the love of his life. 

“No, Hoseok. I can’t be with you. I just can't! My brother matters to me more than anyone else. He might come anytime, please, leave. Or else, he will again distance himself from me if he sees you. Please, Hobi, please.” Sunmi pleaded, her heart was tearing apart as well. But she was simply helpless. Hoseok kept pleading but to no avail.

Jeongguk felt his heart clenching as he heard and saw the love birds crying and separating. But was he not the one to be blamed? Because of his hurt mind and heart, he overlooked his sister's happiness and unknowingly became selfish. He had enough of his twisted mind and heart, he was going to fix each thing. Therefore, let Sunmi and Hoseok’s relationship be the start of his rectification. 

Jeongguk approached them, and both the lovers’ eyes widened in fear. However, before the brunette could say anything Hoseok did. The red-haired male saw the younger male and immediately held his hands while pleading, “Please, Gguk. Let us be together. I promise I won't let my underground work do any harm to Sunmi and our future baby. Please, I beg you, Gguk. 

“I have no one in this world. My dad left the world before my birth and my mom was killed by some roadside gangsters when I was just seven. Uncle Do Han took me in and trained me to be what I am today. He was a father figure for me. But after his expiration, trust me, I never felt as alive as I felt when I first saw your sister. I can't describe in words what she is to me. Please, don't separate her from me. I will die without her. 

“She is the reason I live, please, Gguk. I beg you. Please, I will try my best to give everything and to protect both of them. I will treat Sunmi like the queen she is. And our baby will be the best bounty for me. I love both of them beyond my imagination. I will take care of you as well. I truly see you as my younger brother, Gguk. Please, I will do everything and anything for them. But, please, don't separate us. I beg you.” Hoseok was crying hard and kneeling in front of Jeongguk with his hands clasped. 

“Hyung, what are you doing?! Don't do this! Please, get up.” With that, Jeongguk held Hoseok's arm and made him stand up. Jeongguk was feeling ashamed of himself. How blinded he was by his feelings that he was ruining his sister’s life and happiness. Without thinking further, Jeongguk hugged the older male instead and immediately apologized, “I should be the one to be sorry, Hyung. I did a great sin by separating you two when I knew that you both lived for each other.
